WASHING-MACHINE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 25,774, dated October11, 1859; Ressued January To all whom 'it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. H. TAMBLING, of Berlin, in the county of GreenLake and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Washing- Machines; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing and arranging theinside of a revolving wash box substantially in the manner hereinafterset forth.

In the drawings, Figure l represents a vertical cross section. Fig. 2 isa perspective of one side of the box removed. Fig. 3, is a side view ofthe box in its bearings.

In the figures A, represents a box, which is made of any suitable size;either of a square or oblong form. To the two ends of this box aresecured two short journals, which rest in journal bearings in a frame,C, C,-the box revolves upon these journals when the operation of washingis in progress. The interior of the box A, is provided with four bucketsmarked D, D, D, D, which nare situated in the four corners of the box.These buckets are in a triangular form and are closed at their' ends.They are open at one angle as is represented at ai). The object of thesebuckets is to raise and pour the water in the box upon the clothes asthe said box revolves upon its journals. It will be seen that when thebuckets are down the water from the box enters them,-they carry it up,and as they approach the top the water begins to pour out upon theclothes,-thus there is almost a continual stream of water pouring uponthe clothes all the while.

l E, represents one of the sides of the box,-

both the sides and the ends of the box are constructed in a mannersimilar to the side E. This side it will be seen is provided with barsa, @,-these bars are in two parts as seen; and when their ends areplaced together they stand at an angle of about a hundred and fiftydegrees to each other. These bars, a, a, are provided with a series ofshort pins n, n, n, as is represented in Fig. 2,-the bars being for thepurpose of giving' direction to the water while the pins serve to keepthe clothes off from the bars and the sides of the box so that there maybe a free circulation of water around and through the inside of the box.This box is made very close, with a close fitting door, so that whenfilled with, or partially filled with, water and with clothes the waterwill not leak out. Then clothes are placed in the box' they are washedby the continual pouring of the water upon them and by the frictioncaused by the clothes coming in contact with the pins and with eachother as the box revolves upon its journals.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is l. The arrangement of the buckets (D D,)in the four corners, of the interior of the box A, said buckets beingmade in a triangular form, and open at one angle as at the same beingused in the manner and for the purpose specified.

2. The arrangement of the bars a, a, as provided with pins n, n, and inthe form represented, when used in connect-ion with the box A, and thebuckets (D, D,) Yas constructed the whole operating substantially as andfor the purpose specified.
